Becoming a father can be one of the most meaningful (and challenging) transitions in a man’s life. Many dads I work with feel overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, or unsure of themselves in ways they didn’t expect. You may be carrying the pressure to provide, hold it together, and support your partner while quietly feeling like you’re falling short, unseen, or losing touch with who you are. If you and your partner are struggling to stay connected while navigating pregnancy or postpartum life, then you’re not alone - and it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
I help new dads, grieving parents, and postpartum couples slow down, name what’s really happening beneath the surface, and develop practical tools to manage emotions more calmly, communicate more effectively, and connect with themselves and their partner more securely. Male perinatal mental health specialists can be hard to find. I'm here for you.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally present as a parent, a partner, and a person. You don’t need to wait until things fall apart to get support. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the realities of early fatherhood and postpartum relationships, then let's talk about what my support could look like for you.
